Riesling

WINERY RATING

James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2011

Clare Valley, South Australia.  The grapes from these vines produce Riesling with aromas of apple blossom and a naturally crisp acidic background. The palate is citrus with peach and tropical notes...

Central Otago, New Zealand. Taut, concentrated picurea with typical (for Central Otago) chalky minerality, lime, citrus and delicate floral flavours. Medium/dry wine that achieves a delicious tension between acidity and sweetness. Very pure with a lengthy finish...

King Valley, Central Victoria. Aromatics include citrus blossom, white petal flowers, sweet floral notes and dried herbs. The palate is crisp, fresh and taut with lemon and lime flavours. It has tight acidity and lovely fruit balance with a lingering, limey finish...

Great Southern, Western Australia. Pale straw.  Lifted aromatics of lime zest and white flowers. Displaying a pure and focused palate showing an intense medley of citrus and crisp lingering acidity.

Coal River Valley, Tasmania. Aromas of citrus blossom, jasmine, and mineral on the nose. Notes of preserved lemon, under-ripened pear and kafir lime follow through on the palate. A slight note of talc, persists with a full mouth-feel and continuous acid. 5 months maturation on fine lees in oak prior to bottling...

Coal River Valley, Tasmania. Opening with candied orange zest and mandarin the clean acidity revitalises the palate and clears the way for lime cordial, apple sherbet, dry honeysuckle and white jasmine to finish off this outstanding cool-climate riesling...

Wachau, Austria. "Buoyant, with racy acidity and lively, fresh-cut apple and Meyer lemon flavors that take on a creamy allure. The tarragon notes mesh with effusive minerality and hints of white pepper. Drink now through 2020..."

Wachau, Austria. A pure, powerful Riesling with white peach and lime aromas, creamy notes and spice on the finish...

Wachau, Austria. Just when you thought that you reached the ceiling with the Achleiten Riesling along comes Toni's 'Wachstum Bodenstein' the crowning wine of the range that actually comes from their Seeberer vineyard high up above the river. Seeberer's poor rocky, friable gneiss soil gives the wine a remarkable smokiness and bristling, beautiful purity. It's a sublime wine, with exquisite grip & weave. A wine that goes on and on and on...Excellent; deserves a good cellar...
